Yup, really they had the right idea in that it was native components that were hoisted by JavaScript binding... it really lost steam because it became easier to just build native Swift (and later kotlin android). It was a solid play at the

I have had some nice results with swift. It’s still predominately Apple tech (macOS,iOS) but the packages manager is nice and it’s has nice “script” feel for a compiled language.

Great article, I love seeing server and client side worlds colliding. It reminds me of the early days of lib-uv/nodeJS. In addition to the swift NIO specific endeavors I’m excited about the integration work with Swift package manager (

In my humble experience the impact of this issue is multiplied on mobile; given the mobile context the user expectation is in amplified and the need for clear communication made more relevant. A simple “spinning wheel of death” is often not

When choosing a language, framework or “platform” there are only three things that matter: (1) Time to market: how fast can you implement a “ship-able” feature, app (2) Resource cost/availability: can you find delivery resources easily

While legacy iOS developers are justifying objective-c over swift. Swift is “eating the world” of iOS and macOS app ( and some server side ) development, avoid it at your own peril. The Xcode issues are undeniable but it does not change the

Completely true for the last two years, however if the last two months are any indicator things are looking up on this front. The swift 4 update was relatively painless compared to 2 and 3.

All this and the developers that were driving new line of biz products were coming from the front end ( web and mobile ), of course all front ends need backends and when these these folks went looking they naturally leaned toward JavaScript

It's amazing how much nautical language and references contribute to colloquial phrases. It may be just the company I keep but I find it consistently comes up in French.

I would add to that oil and gas project managers. When I moved to SF from Dallas I was astounded how little Product Managers assessed resource costs + risk to value. I get that it's a different world with different objectives but ther

I agree with a lot of this. My one comment is that not all side projects are about a "full startup business". I shipped my 2 mo. side project this summer. Donors Choose Project Finder https://appsto.re/us/JVmb

I don't understand why (forgive me for the generalization) blue collar work ethic and blue collar loyalty are so often dismissed in the tech field. Some of the best advice I ever received was 'execute in the seat your in'. Su

I think test after is a reasonable approach. I am constantly dealing with new code bases and in the interview process I am often asked about my philosophy about testing. My response is thatbtrsting occurs on two fronts from the top down ( f

Hey I have some time behind the iOS Dev "wheel" (about 12 iOS apps shipped, some better than others :/ ) , I'm between jobs/contracts and just hanging out so if you want someone to bounce questions off of feel free,

I like this approach, and I use it a lot in my Objective-C to swift conversions. For new code (or legacy apps without testing infrastructure) I tend to approach testing first from the top down with Functional tests (uix button pressing) an

I'm doing about 10 hours a week on it, I figured I would 'soft launch' it rough instead and polish it up as I get closer to the start of school year .

very clean and clear presentation a couple questions: - I noticed you had a pretty simple sales pipe flow ( New, Lead, Op and Close ) which is nice but do you plan on extending it or allowing customization? - Do you think you will embed a M

As apps grow, and features increase there is always a pressure towards a "mega app” of many features and an opportunity for the "micro app” of focused features. The old adage of “Desktop apps are novels and Mobile apps are prover
